My last doctor was dark skinned Indian....

..but in general I do trust "doctors of color" more...

I work with a lot of dark skin Indians, but he looked like a black man. He is an ER physician.

ETA: I think it is also because he is bald. With hair, he can't sit with us.

one of my friends had no
idea she had an Asian background.She would tell people she was half
asian and half black but both her parents were black. She had the chinky
eyes and the silky hair but her skin was dark. Her father was in and
out of her life so she never got to meet his side of the family. Years
later he passed and when she went to his funeral it was nothing but
asians there. Turns out his mother is Cambodian. Her father was the only
one with a black father, the rest of her aunts and uncles were full
Cambodian.

Her mom didn't know the father of her child was half Asian?

She would tell people she was half Asian even though she didn't have any idea if she had an Asian background?

I'm confused. Did you mean she was unaware that she had such a huge Cambodian family?

No. Her mother was not aware. Im assuming she was either a one night stand or the father just didnt want anything to do with her after getting her pregnant. She did tell me she recalls getting a DNA tested when she was 9.

She was unaware of being Asian at that time, but she looks Asian and black, so she would just claim it for the hell of it before finding out about her Cambodian family.

Don't excite him (pharrell)

right?

On the other-hand, this confirms Pharrell's blackness even more since this Indian man is passing for black by looking like Pharrell.

You can be a black Jamaican and still be "English born" provided you were born before, what, 1962?

*Googles* i thought one of her parents were dutch... i am british but not called 'English' even though i am born over here, we are generally referred to 'afro-caribs, west indians, black british caribs, black british africans. Never just English. I'd assume if her dutch parent was black they'd be called 'black dutch' or something.
